When mold becomes an issue in your hotel, you want the experts. Call SERVPRO for assistance with mold remediation services.

Post-storm Damage Can Leave Raleigh Buildings Vulnerable to Mold Growth. 

As the home to once-prominent accommodations like the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel on Fayetteville St, Raleigh continues to place high expectations on its amenities and structures for guests to the city. When situations like mold damage threaten any of these properties, management looks to the experience and fast response of our SERVPRO remediation team.

Storm Damage Response 

One of the first ways that mold remediation in Raleigh accommodations can get underway is to manage flooding and storm damage after a severe weather event. In recent years, the area has seen a share of torrential rains and damaging winds, so flooding is possible to properties meeting specific elevation criteria. This water penetration can cause ideal conditions for mold and microbial threats.

Assessing Mold Damage in the Building

Mold inspections play a vital role in determining just how destructive mold colonies can be to the hotel and its occupants. We evaluate any affected hosting materials and the projected paths of migration for active colonies.

Containment and Remediation

It is important to manage the loss in these hotels and resorts by establishing set containment barriers. Physical plastic polypropylene sheeting over structural openings can prevent the spread of active mold spores to new building areas and keep you operating in some capacity. This also increases the efficiency of remediation approaches like:

• Surface cleaning
• Sanding
• Sponge pressure cleaning
• Controlled demolition

Preventing Mold Recurrences

Once water penetrates the property and creates moist conditions, this is a situation that can keep happening. Our general contractor license allows us to complete repairs and build-back services necessary to seal vulnerabilities and prevent mold recurrences.

Mold can move fast through sprawling hotel structures throughout Raleigh and its surrounding areas. Our professionals provide efficient remediation services to get your business back up and running quickly. Give our SERVPRO of Southeast Raleigh / Garner team a call today at (919) 615-1179.
